Joel Miller Mandala

A Quebecer originally from New Brunswick, saxophonist and composer Joel Miller turns every concert into an event. Winner of the Grand Jazz Award at the 1997 Festival International de Jazz de Montréal, this musician renowned for his ingenious songwriting and melodic solos returns with Mandala (a geometric pattern representing a microcosm of the universe from the human perspective), a surprising acoustic sextet fusing folklore, electro-melodic inflections and magisterial improv. Theirs is a magical and spiritual musical universe, a calming, healing sound that inspires dreaming and reflection. Accompanied by Thom Gossage (drums), Bruno Lamarche (tenor sax, clarinet and flute) Fraser Hollins (bass), Kenny Bibace (guitar), Bill Mahar (trumpet) and guest singer Amelia McMahon, he'll unveil the mysteries of his latest, Tantramar.
